Warm up: A day (Make a circuit) B day (Draw your favorite Van de Graaff Demo
1.) Introduction to Circuits (Notes)
Compare and Contrast: How is water like electricity (9.2.1)
1.) Students can use resistance panels on front of the desk as well as battery test kits in colored pencil boxes on front desk. Have students complete the following worksheet.
2.) Have students read p 200 - 204 (Stop before you get to the current in a simple circuit). Answer questions 1 - 2, and 4 and 5)
3.) Students to create a concept map/visual of how water is like electricity. They should compare and contrast water flow with electric current, gravity with voltage difference, and resistance in water and resistance in electricity.
4.) Students may visit the following website and practice creating circuits when above work is complete. http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dc
